Decision

Who decides who becomes Conservative of the Year? - JobsNotMobs —The preceding unsigned comment was added by JobsNotMobs (talk)

We'll discuss on the talk page near the end of the year (within the last week), and we'll come to a consensus. --1990'sguy (talk) 15:48, 8 December 2019 (EST)

Ok, thank you

Boris Johnson

Boris obviously has a good position on Brexit, and he won a strong victory last week, but I don't think he should be Conservative of the Year, or even 2nd or 3rd place. The reason is that despite his position on Brexit, he's very left-wing on several other issues, including abortion, homosexuality, environmentalism, and certain globalist agreements such as the Paris climate agreement. Also, my understanding is that he's a pragmatist rather than an ideologue, meaning that he doesn't have particularly strong views on issues.

I would be supportive of listing "Brexit voters" as a Conservative of the Year entry, similar to what we did in 2015. --1990'sguy (talk) 09:18, 16 December 2019 (EST)

Boris Johnson is right on Brexit, but he is an abortion advocate. He encouraged his mistress to have an abortion. - JobsNotMobs

He apparently paid for her abortion: [1] That said, this was in 2004, so his current abortion/homosexuality/environment/etc. positions are more relevant to us today. --1990'sguy (talk) 18:52, 16 December 2019 (EST)
